The indoor amusement park at the upcoming American Dream mega-mall in North New Jersey, just outside Manhattan, will be named Nickelodeon Universe, it has been announced. Much like the theme of the indoor park at the Mall of America, Nickelodeon Universe will be home to popular characters such as "SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and new hits like Blaze and the Monster Machines."

Located on 8.5 acres in a climate controlled enclosure, the park will feature a variety of rides and attractions. Its size will make it the largest indoor theme park in the Western hemisphere.

New concept art for the park, seen up top, was released but appears to be very general in nature and contain several different types of roller coasters. The park states that it "will break numerous World Records with state-of-the-art rides as well as
live shows, retail, games, entertainment, food establishments and
themed party rooms" when it opens.

American Dream, after many years of delays, is now said to be opening in the second half of 2018. It will also include a DreamWorks themed water park, a Lego Discovery Center and aquarium, 4-D attraction theater and plenty more.
